Build and lead your colony on a lost ringworld, where deadly conditions await on both sides while the world keeps turning! Progress through technological evolution, survive cultural revolution, and govern with a wise and steady hand!
BUILD & GROW
Extract, gather and process resources from the world surface to build and feed your civilization. Balance exploring new materials and buildings with sustaining what you already have. What will you build, and what will you leave behind?
SURVIVE & ADAPT
Migrate your people out of hazardous conditions and towards their next home. One side of the ring is close to the sun and too hot, while the other side is dark and freezing. Stay in the habitable zone, or adapt to the extremes!
EVOLVE & PROGRESS
Employ scholars to study the world and advance technology. Unlock new buildings or upgrade existing ones, reveal new resources or transform the ones you have. Can you fix the ring? Will you escape? Will you adapt? Or will you perhaps forage berries forever?
BEWARE OF THE REVOLUTION
As the population grows, and technology with it, ideas are born. Ideas become culture, and culture becomes the soul of the people. Will you embrace the ebb and flow of the public, or resist? Few leaders last long, none last forever.
